Artist's Comments

Okay, I'm really proud of this one. Steady-hand bracketed shots for an HDR of one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. The clouds were perfect, there was no wind to rustle the leaves and make the HDR impossible and I was at the right place at the right time. The grass is slightly blurry due to noise removal, but other than that I'm very pleased with the picture.

I really recommend the fullview, and if you have a slightly larger monitor, click the download button to see it even bigger.

I took other pictures of this sunset from different angles, and have posted one of them here: [link]

Very nice sunset. I like the all the different colours in the photograph.

I think you went a bit too hard on the noise reduction. The photo has that distinct blur caused by too much noise reduction. Try applying Chroma Noise Reduction only and doing a slight Unsharp Mask to accentutate the details of the tree.

Good work! :)

Wow.. :wow: That is fantastic. You certainly were at the right place at the perfect time. I love how the sun is in the center of the tree. The colors are fabulous and I love the fluffy clouds. Brilliant shot!

Paulo!!! The colors are fantastic! I love the contrast between the purple of the mountains and the yellow of the sky. The rest of the colors really pop too! I won't even mention how centered the tree is horizontally, because I'm sure you did it on purpose. ;) I like the sun seen through the branches of the tree and the almost silhouetted effect.

This is such a beautiful sight. For some reason it makes me think of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

Thanks a lot for the comment! I knew when I looked at the tree that I had to frame the sun inside it, even if it turned out worse than the other pictures. Glad someone else liked the idea too ^_^
